The account of Rebekah in Genesis shows she did more than the minimum and we are exhorted to do the same. God has given each of us gifts to use and grow to serve others so that He gets the glory! We can all have "the Rebekah attitude."

God sometimes asks us to do something difficult. Abraham had seen the faithfulness of God and trusted Him. Abraham's faith was hugely tested when he was asked to do something very difficult. Abraham radically obeyed and God's provision was seen and once again he knew God's incredible faithfulness. What is God asking of us?

We are not to settle for less than who we are. We are Christ followers and a new creation! We are not to settle for less than the fulfilling of His purpose for us! We are not to settle with the distractions of life which can take our focus off Jesus. Let's not settle but finish what God has called us to.

Paul Collinson, a friend of Westside on NCMI's team from Australia brings a deep and challenging word this morning. We can live transformed lives, reflecting Jesus because of the life-changing message of the word of God. Becoming doers of the word and not just hearers, so that we can "go" into the areas God has called us to is essential!

God will fight your battles for you! This is a good reminder of the faithfulness of God in our lives as we participate by trusting and obeying Him. Looking at 3 examples from the Old Testament we too can have a righteous anger like David, be resolved like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and be steadfast like Daniel to see our enemies defeated.

God has a pattern for everything and Noah did everything exactly as God instructed him to do. God saved Noah from the flood and his appropriate response was worship. We are given instruction from God. We are to love and obey God no matter what is going on around us. And our appropriate response is worship to Him! Happy Father's Day, men! Your example can make a huge God-honoring impact on the generations to follow!
